Pole banners are specifically designed to have sleeves (sometimes called pole pockets) built into the pole banner. "Pole sleeves" are created by adding extra material to the top and bottom of the banner creating a "pole pocket" thus allowing the pole banner to easily slide onto a pole system to be seen in either direction (front and back).

Custom made pole banners can be fashioned to any size to effectively fit on any pre-existing pole system. Pole banners are great for lots of different advertising markets including fairs, farmer's markets, parking lots, concerts, promotions and much much more. And since pole banners can have opposing information on either side of the banner, your messages to either foot or motor traffic, can easily greet and bid farewell with different messages thus increasing awareness and doubling your coverage all in the price of one banner. Pole banners are great alternatives to over-the-street banners, which can be extremely expensive, because of their size and hanging requirements. And for those who don't have a pole system...no problem, we sell pole systems to display our pole banners on that are affordable and easy to install.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do pole banners come in specific sizes?

No. Each pole banner is unique because it will need to fit on an existing pole systems or purchased pole kits, hanging dowel, PVC frame, etc. which translates into all sorts of different banner sizes and pole sleeve dimensions.

How do I figure out the size of my pole banner?

Accuracy is very important for pole banner measurements as some pole banners will be placed on non-adjustable pole systems. But to determine the height of the pole banner you will measure from the complete area beginning from the top of the top pole to the exact bottom of the bottom pole (do not measure in between the poles.)

What is a pole sleeve and how do I determine the sleeve size for my pole banner?

The pole sleeve is the extra material at the top and bottom of the banner (sometimes even the sides) that is folded over to create a pocket to slide over poles, dowels, pvc displays, etc. To determine the proper pole sleeve size you'll need to find out the diameter of the pole itself and let your sign company know that dimension. Again, proper measurements are very critical for pole banners, especially if the pole system is fixed and can't be adjusted. (Please note: For pole systems that have a ball at the end to keep the banner from slipping off pleasure use the actual ball size for the sleeve to assure that the banner will slide onto your poles properly.)

Can pole banners be double-sided with opposing images?

Absolutely! Pole banners are built specifically to display visual images to those coming and going so you can have the same image on either side, or contrasting images to convey different information, depending on your projected display needs.

How do you keep opposing double-sided mages from being seen on the other side of the banner.

We have to distinct print methods for our pole banners to eliminate any bleed-through of images. One process is to print two separate 13 oz. vinyl banners and stitch them together with a special block-out material in between. The other approach utilizes a thicker 20 oz. vinyl banner material, that is print receptive on both sides, without the need for any block-out material.

I've seen pole banners with wind slits...are they necessary?

In most all cases, wind slits aren't necessary with any banner, if they are properly installed and aren't in a region with gale force winds. Wind slits can compromise the banner material and lead to fraying or ripping of the banner material. Our pole banners (without wind slits) are made from durable material and should be able to withstand most normal wind conditions, but if your pole banner(s) will be in a particular windy area, please bring that to the attention of your sales representative to discuss options that will help wind-proof your banner.
